We booked 3 night and almost just used the place to sleep. We had a weekend get together and Ajijic was fully booked, so this last room looked like a perfect last minute cheap option to take. We saw pictures and though it was a modest rustic place suited for our needs. We were told the bed sheets were clean and as we arrived really late that night just slept on the duvet. Next the bathroom had so many dirt spots as the had never ever scrubbed floor corners, nor bath tube, nor bedroom floor. But we spent the day at a friends house so we just used it to sleep, and only 1 day took a shower there using sandals. The last day we opened bedsheets just to realize they were gray, printed flowers design of sheets almost disappeared as they were really really old, curtains were yellow of dirt, and worst was when we realized pillows filling were terribly dirty and disgusting. They were nice people but I cant believe someone can offer a place in such dirt conditions. I have being a host also and cant believe someone can even be living like that, nor listing this place. With. A lot of cleaning maybe could improve. But i wouldn't recommend this place to stay ever. Get away!!!

Nice and great value. Quiet and a small walk to the main road with options for transportation. Clean and functional to what we needed. Plenty of communication with home owner and the guy that greeted us. Would stay at this place again.

I enjoyed my stay here. The room is very large and has a big TV where I watched some Netflix. The king size bed is comfortable and there is a nice little Terrace just outside the room as well as access to the rooftop terrace. I used Stewart's kitchen to fix myself coffee and breakfast each day and kept things in his refrigerator. It is a very comfortable little house. It has been built to minimize the lovely sounds of the village life. I enjoyed the singing, the crowing of roosters and the clopping of horses as they passed the house. If you want something that's very quiet, then rent a place above the highway and expect to need a car. This location is good. It is two blocks from the main highway And two blocks from the plaza. The bus to Ajijic goes right by the house. It was good to meet Stuart, a congenial host, and I hope to stay here next time I come.

The quiet yet convenient location midway between the activity centers of Ajijic and Chapala makes this a perfect choice for Lakeside visitors.. you simply won't find anything comparable to the quality, comfort, and special energy built in to this exceptional brand new rental. It would be a standout anywhere in the world. .

The Mexico Refuge cottage is a spacious 55 square meters (600 square feet). High ceilings throughout provide a wonderful feeling of expansive space with lots of glass and ambient light, especially in the main living area. Natural (and adjustable) ventilation highlights our most-often-complimented design feature; hand-made woven reed mats on the ceiling interiors. This modernized version of a classic Mexican application produces a fresh, clean aroma and a feeling of organic softness.
Sleeping: Two comfortable bedrooms for 1-4 guests with 2 queen-size beds
Bathroom: Generous space with shower, attractive vanity with vessel sink and all the necessities.
Laundry: Washer/dryer in the unit.
Kitchen: North-of-the-border quality cabinets (done by your host, formerly a master cabinet-maker), gas cook-top, microwave, refrigerator, coffee pot, toaster, and all necessary utensils and tableware. The kitchen includes a butcher block island counter and stools that also serves as a breakfast bar.
Living Room / Sitting Area: The open-space design of the kitchen/living room has a spacious and airy yet cozy atmosphere.
Private outdoor shaded patio: Complete with table, chairs, and gas BBQ grill.
House-keeping: Cleaning and maid once a week (more often by request and for an additional charge). In addition, daily cleaning supplies and bedding change are also provided for your convenience.
Parking: Safe and secure off-street parking, literally at your door-step.
Pets: We are “dog friendly”. There is $10/Night fee to cover extra cleaning for our canine friends.
Security: Mexico Refuge, by nature of its location, is comfortably secure… without being “walled in”.
WiFi: Convenient USB ports in living room and bedrooms.

internet, phone, Mexican satellite tv, laundry room on site.
All units on this property are non-smoking.

5 night minimum stay
Thirty minutes from the Hidalgo International airport in Guadalajara, Mexico you'll find Mexico's largest lake, Lake Chapala. Come explore the artistic villages, the 100 plus restaurants and charm of this beautiful area of the country, nestled 5000 ft high in the mountains, the home of perennial spring. Our 1-bedroom Condo has a kitchen and living/dining area, a bedroom with a KING bed, and a separate office (can be converted to a second bedroom with long-term rental). We are 3 blocks from the bus and from several local attractions. We have the comforts of home, all utilities, internet, Mexican satellite tv, and a laundry Casita.
We are located in a quiet and safely secured gated property. We can provide lots of information about the local activities, tours, and the best places to meet fellow travelers as well as numbers for reliable taxi drivers.
Go to The Lake Chapala Society (URL HIDDEN) for a site offering all kinds of information and local activities.
There is no heating or air conditioning and the climate can vary from cool to warm so the Casitas/Condos are stocked with blankets. Layering is always recommended in the winter and some visitors have traveled with a heating pad to help on chilly nights. Good walking shoes are recommended.
Our landmark for directions for the taxi from the airport is the Walmart near Ajijic. We are located IN THE VILLAGE OF SAN ANTONIO TLAYACAPAN AND on the street behind Walmart parallel to the Careterra, which is the main highway. Take the first left after passing Walmart heading toward Ajijic, follow the sign toward the Hotel Real de Chapala. Head down that street and take the very next left. and we are up on the right a few hundred yards. Please write this down as many cab drivers don't believe the guests and take them to another street in Ajijic with the same name..."DETRAS DE WALMART, POR FAVOR!" if you can, get an English-speaking driver...
Policies:
Since this is a gated property we ask that guests do not open the gates for anyone they do not know.
Smoking is allowed outside the gates only and no pets are permitted as guests or with visitors.
Quiet hours are within reasonable and thoughtful neighborhood expectations.
Keys are not to be used by anyone who is not a registered guest.
Guests are renting a home away from home and are responsible for daily and weekly needs such as food, extra cleaning supplies other than what is provided, maid service (available through manager) and transportation.
Thanks for helping to make this a comfortable and safe community.

We love he horses waiting down the street to be rented for trail rides as well as the local markets for fresh produce Monday and Wednesday mornings.

What a marvelous Host Michele is. Due to flight delays I was a day late getting here. She had a few food items available for me so I would not have to trek off to the market which allowed me to get some much needed rest. The condo was quaint. comfortable and described as listed, with a very comfortable King size bed. The property grounds are well maintained and very attractive. Michele was a wealth of information and helpful at every turn. Thank you for making my stay a pleasant one Michele. I highly recommend staying here.

Condo #2 was a very bright and spacious apartment-like accommodation with full kitchen, laundry room, living/dining area with tv, large bedroom with adjoining bathroom, plus an office. The decor had a real professional touch. No telephone but we managed fine with the Wifi. The place was very well equipped with lots of lovely surprises--a full-size bar of soap in the bathroom, plenty of towels, laundry soap, plus some eats in the fridge and even a bottle of wine (the very colour we drink!!!). The guard dogs were well-contained on the property which we appreciated. We felt completely safe. Michele was supremely pleasant and had an instant solution to the few minor glitches that developed over the week. Great budget spot.

shirley2015-01-12T00:00:00Z

What a beautiful place and a gracious hostess. The casita was large and clean and thoughtfully furnished. Waking to the birds in this semi-rural setting is a delight. It was fun being near the village of San Antonio, and there is a bus there to Ajijic (though often we caught a ride into town with hostess Michele). We are sorry to be packing up.

Sidney2015-01-31T00:00:00Z

Michelle is very thoughtful and receptive. The casita was wonderful, great kitchen, bedroom, beautiful living room, and secure and beautiful grounds. I enjoyed my stay enormously, and highly recommend staying there.

Caitlin2015-05-06T00:00:00Z

Michele was very welcoming. Loved the condo. Well equipped and clean. Very quiet and peaceful. Wi-Fi worked very well. Perfect for someone who needs a quiet place to get inspired. Close enough to Guadalajara for convenience (about 30 minute drive) but with the peacefulness of a small artist's town.

Beautiful home tucked away in a peaceful gated community in Ajijic. You will feel right at home here with the house's light and airy spaces and numerous outdoor areas. Perfect for a couple or a family.

Beautiful new 2 storey house in "Los Lirios" gated community, directly opposite pool, fully furnished and equipped, ready to be lived in! Gas bbq (connected to gas network), table and chairs on spacious roof terrace with lake and mountain view.
There are 3 bathrooms, a large and fully equipped kitchen with loads of storage, laundry room with washing machine and dryer, living and dining rooms, office (also the third bedroom with a sofa bed), 2 bedrooms (master bedroom with a fan and air conditioning, not to mention the balcony with a view of the community area. The second upstairs bedroom has its own small terrace. Both upstairs bedrooms have walk-in closets, built-in safes and full bathrooms with large walk-in showers). As well as the balconies attached to the two upstairs bedrooms, there is a patio downstairs which is perfect for breakfasts. Furthermore, and our personal favourite, is the delightful roof terrace with breathtaking views of both the mountains and lakes.
Ajijic is a quintessential Mexican village full of typical restaurants and shops. The house is 5 minutes away from the largest lake in Mexico, perfect for strolling to watch the sunrise or sunset. Walking distance from Walmart, local shops and restaurants, but far enough not to get any noise from the highway. Only 20 minutes from lots of natural thermal spas, 30 minutes to Guadalajara airport, and 45 minutes to the centre of Guadalajara. It's conveniently close to bus stops in case you don't want to drive. There is lots to keep you busy, even if that means relaxing by the pool!
The house is in a gated community which makes it very quiet and pleasent to live in. Furthermore, it is directly opposite the pool so you can always step out for a quick dip.

Hosts are unprepared for short term renters unfamiliar with the area and property. On arrival, our cell phones didn't work as we were in a foreign country, there was no phone in the house, no Internet service, so no way of communicating with anyone outside the property, including with the airline who had lost our luggage. The absence of a phone was quickly rectified. There is no Internet service at the property, although to be fair, they didn't advertise that there would be. Internet service is just something we have come to expect today, in a quality rental property and so, shame on us, didn't notice when we booked that it wasn't included. They did advertise television but there was no television service provided, so the television was just a black box hanging on the wall. The rental is in a gated complex some distance from the gate, and we were given one key and one gate operator. This means that everyone staying at this property needed to come and go together at the same time. Anyone remaining in the property after someone left the property had to stay there until the first person returned. Further, the advertised remote wireless control for the gate was not hooked up, so someone in the house could not communicate with someone at the gate. There are no instructions in the property to introduce visitors to the property or the area, as has been our experience with all other airbnb hosts. There were no instructions as to how to operate the gate (as an example), no maps of the area, no suggestions as to restaurants or other services, etc. No directions to Internet cafes, especially important in the absence of Internet in house. These, we find, are very helpful to foreign visitors arriving in a new and unfamiliar country or region. Add to that that there is no in house internet service, and a visitor is truly handicapped. This property is located adjacent to a small farm so there are farm animal noises for a good part of a 24 hour day. Some visitors may be comfortable with this. Others may find these noises annoying, especially at night. If you are elderly and have difficulty walking significant distances, you will need a car. This property is located some distance (a long walk) from shopping, and from the interesting parts of the area. In summary, this property is a new, modern, clean, and spacious, property, which could make for a very pleasant stay, if the hosts attended to basic issues (internet, television, entry/exit, area and property information). Failure to show an interest in these things made staying there somewhat frustrating. This host seems not to be focused on renting the property so neglects critical comfort issues. We spent the first week of a three week stay, trying to deal with the deficiencies we faced on arrival.

Alison's house is very nice and the garden is very beautiful. It is located in a quiet area of Ajijic near restaurants, Wal-Mart, the town and the lake. Although she could not be directly serving us, he left everything ready for us to have a nice stay. It has everything you need to have a good weekend without stress.

What a place!! This house is amazing. It was so nice of Pam to wait for me, she is so lovely and showed me around. There was food for me too which was great because I was so tired and did not need to go out. The pool, the room, the kitchen, it was all very comfortable. Alison had everything out and labelled so I did not really need any more information. I highly recommend this place, it is very safe and cosy. Thanks again ALison, Roger & Pam :)

Ginetta2015-05-04T00:00:00Z

I had a great experience, the place is beautiful and so nice. I would definitely stay there again. I didn´t have the opportunity to met Alison this time but Susan, the person who received me, was very nice and kind. Thank you!

It was my first experience with Airbnb and was very pleasant. Alison and her husband are excellent hosts, I was hesitant to say my stay and she always very politely answered my messages. He fulfilled everything that is published. Their home is beautiful, great to go to rest. It should be noted that breakfast is also super rich. I definitely recommend it, I would I go again :)
